         5 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the soft goods further define a channel sized to receive the second guiding component within. 
     
     
         6 . The play yard of  claim 5 , wherein the second guiding component is a rod sized to be positioned within the inner channel of the first guiding component and the channel defined by the soft goods to detachably connect the soft goods with the first guiding component. 
     
     
         7 . The play yard of  claim 6 , wherein the rod is adapted to be sewn into the channel to fixedly couple the rod to the channel. 
     
     
         8 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the wide section is located on an upper end of the inner channel of the first guiding component. 
     
     
         9 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the wide section is located on a lower end of the inner channel of the first guiding component. 
     
     
         10 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the soft goods further comprise a constraining clip adapted to engage with the corner post for constraining a removal of the second guiding component. 
     
     
         11 . The play yard of  claim 10 , wherein the constraining clip is adapted to engage with an upper end of the corner post to constrain removal of the second guiding component. 
     
     
         12 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the soft goods comprises a positioning component adapted to attach to the corner post. 
     
     
         13 . The play yard of  claim 12 , wherein the corner post includes a first jointing component, and the positioning component includes a second jointing component adapted to connect with the first jointing component for tensioning the soft goods. 
     
     
         14 . The play yard of  claim 13 , wherein the second jointing component is located on a lower end of each corner of the soft goods, adjacent a lower end of the corner posts. 
     
     
         15 . The play yard of  claim 13 , wherein the first jointing component is an attachment boss and the second jointing component is an opening structure, such that the attachment boss is sheathed by the opening structure for tensioning the soft goods and for attaching the soft goods to the corner posts. 
     
     
         16 . The play yard of  claim 1 , wherein the soft goods comprises a restraining component and a textile element connected to each other, each of the plurality of rails are wrapped by the textile element and the textile element is sealed via the restraining component. 
     
     
         17 . A play yard, comprising:
 a plurality of corner posts, each corner post including a first guiding component;   a plurality of rails, each rail being connected between two adjacent corner posts; and   soft goods comprising a second guiding component to detachably connect the soft goods with the first guiding component,   wherein the first guiding component is an external track formed on a lateral side of the corner post, and the second guiding component is a slot formed on the soft goods and detachably engaged with the external track.   
     
     
         18 . The play yard of  claim 17 , wherein the first guiding component comprises two rounded edges adapted to abut against an inner surface of the second guiding component for engagement.
